It is starting to feel like open season on brokers. One in four have left the industry and I am sure that number will rise dramitically. There is less business, more costs and now it seems like there are high risks with less income for the same amount of work pre GFC. I have been broking for 13 years and currently i am sitting back and just waiting and watching to see which way i go. It really feels to me now that the rewards are not comensurate with the risk.
